WITHDRAWAL

I’m an expert at this

Just enough sips to take the shakes away

And not get a seizure

You’ll sweat

Shake, maybe uncontrollably

Your skin will crawl

Bleed the pain

You’ll yearn for your particular vice

Have powerful dreams

If you can sleep

Basketball Diaries

Trainspotting

Heroine

Coke

Smack

Crack

Smokes

Alcohol

Gambling

Sex

Cuddles

Spending

Whatever you’re abstaining from

You need to tap into your inner ape

Have the strength of a warrior

Sometimes I feel like a doctor

Without the qualification

All I wish to do is heal you

Healing myself in the process

A fight like you’ve never seen

All of your gripping emotions

I’m addicted

But I’m stronger than my addictions

Vices

Crises

Water is a good addiction

Cold or hot

Get in it

Surround yourself with it

Down it

Let it heal you

Eat wisely

Rest

Take your time

Be brave

Be strong

Then you’ll live long

Don’t give in to your vice

Make a choice

You need your voice

If you need to pray

Cross yourself

Get on your knees

Surrender to its hold

Let it unfold

Timing is everything

Now not then

Find your zen again
